We seem to have evidence that conflicts so can these two ever be sorted? Witnesses at the marriages have been no help so far. A baptism for a John Oxley? Using age at burial we get one combination and using abode Dean End we get the other. ???

Looking at the Kirkburton registers it seems David Oxley married Nanny Crosley 1782 and they had children Mally 1784; Betty 1787 and Nanny 1791.
Mally is a diminutive for Mary and Nanny for Ann.

In the 1841 census Betty Booth has children Mary, David & Ann, suggesting that this Betty is the daughter of David Oxley.

Richard Oxley of Dean End had children Martha 1781 (she is erroneously transcribed as William on Anc, the child on the next line of the register); Hannah 1784;Jonathan 1787 and Betty 1790.

In 1841 Betty Armitage has one child living with her, Martha, suggesting this Betty is the daughter of Richard Oxley.

Thanks Elaine.

Using age at death and names of children that would seem right. That's the way my tree shows it with a ?

The conflicting piece to that is Richard of Dean End and the Booth family living at Dean End.

Too many John Oxleys for the witness to be of any help.

I can't think of anything else to look at. One used Elizabeth when she married.

Just a thought :-
looking at Charles Booth at Dean End in 1851, next door is an Elija Armitage aged 82 yr, i.e. b ~1769. He was also at Dean End 1841.

A James Armitage s.o. Elija was bapt. Kirkburton 1789 so would be 52 in 1841 so correct to possibly be the one you have in the 1841 census.

So if Elija Armitage moved his family to Dean End when James was young he would have come into contact with the Dean End Oxleys and met Betty d.o. Richard.

Thanks very much Elaine.

With the death of James Armitage before 1851 I had no real idea which baptism of several fitted best for him. I looked at those living next door to him in 1841 but did not look to see who was living next door to Charles Booth.
